- allow to browse the package database, provide the main informations about packages, like any other distribution does (see http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for example).
- focus on interaction between users, testers and packagers (backports requests and voting, new soft requests and voting, and the other way round : testing requests from packagers to users)
well, sophie does not address this, indeed :)
- customizable user notifications on your home page, RSS feed or e-mail (new backport available for you preferred soft, new update candidate available and awaiting testing...)
additions to sophie (nearly existing)
I tried to explain this project there : http://mageiacauldron.tuxfamily.org/MageiaAppDb
congrats, from what I've seen, it's approved by the board :-)
It was announced yesterday during the founders meeting : http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=meetings
The project is at its very beginning, and the task is huge, so we'll proceed step by step. You can see our temporary roadmap here : http://github.com/agallou/mageia-app-db/wiki/ROADMAP
o_O tell the difference between what exists and what could be added :)
Right now, I'm mainly interested in your comments on this project, and also welcome any suggestions about the needs we have to answer (did we forget something ?), and ideas of functionalities. It doesn't mean we'll be able to implement everything, but at this stage I want to envision every possible idea :)
I think that addition to what exists should be privileged, be it sophie or
http://doc4.mandriva.org (when it works :/). Existing solutions being added and analysed at the bottom of
http://mageiacauldron.tuxfamily.org/MageiaAppDb and appropriately documented when it answers practical requirements :-) (yeah voting is all a part of it being successful imho :D people taking in charge being a reason for effective success).
